After both having extra time off, the McNair Eagles and the River Islands Riptide will dust off their jerseys to challenge one another at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. McNair knows how to get runs on the board -- the squad has finished with ten runs or more in their past four matchups -- so hopefully River Islands likes a good challenge.
While McNair didn't have the best season last year (they finished 7-19), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past. They put the hurt on Grant with a sharp 27-11 victory last Thursday. That looming 27-11 mark stands out as the most commanding margin for the Eagles yet this season.
